Well preserved….fucking guy is a crumbling skeleton!
He almost looks like he’s sleeping. Incredible.
Looks better in the second pic.
I mean his clothes seem well enough preserved. HE does not.
Don’t take a chance drive a stake through his heart.
Doesn’t look a day over 132
He doesn’t look a day over 101 years old.
Do not bury me with my fucking boots on, please.
He’s seen better days.
God, they don’t make them like these anymore
Doctor: *Your labs look fine.*
I am curious about his height
Same outfit as the photo, wonder how far apart the photo was from his death
A beard that good can never die
Define well preserved…

What’s the symbol on the coffin?
Crucifix and some other crucifix adjacent symbol?

Hasn’t aged a day!

Would buy a pair of those boots
Bilbo was well-preserved. This is not
